Environmental pollution is the release of environmental contaminants, generally resulting from human activity.
Carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides produced by industry and motor vehicles are common air pollutants.
Arguably the principal source of air pollutants worldwide is motor vehicle emissions, although many other sources have been found to contribute to the ever growing problem.
Principal stationary pollution sources include chemical plants, coal-fired power plants, oil refineries, nuclear waste disposal activity, incinerators, large animal farms, PVC factories, metals production factories, plastics factories, and other heavy industry.
Pollutants can cause disease, including cancer, lupus, immune diseases, allergies, and asthma.
Adverse air quality can kill many organisms including humans. Motor vehicle emissions are one of the leading causes of air pollution.
Principal stationary pollution sources include chemical plants, coal-fired power plants, oil refineries, petrochemical plants, nuclear waste disposal activity, incinerators, large livestock farms (dairy cows, pigs, poultry, etc.), PVC factories, metals production factories, plastics factories, and other heavy industry. Some of the more common soil contaminants are chlorinated hydrocarbons (CFH), heavy metals (such as chromium, cadmium–found in rechargeable batteries, and lead — found in lead paint, aviation fuel and still in some countries, gasoline), MTBE, zinc, arsenic and benzene.
Ordinary municipal landfills are the source of many chemical substances entering the soil environment (and often groundwater), emanating from the wide variety of refuse accepted, especially substances illegally discarded there, or from pre-1970 landfills that may have been subject to little control in the U.S.
or EU. Pollution can also be the consequence of a natural disaster.
For example, hurricanes often involve water contamination from sewage, and petrochemical spills from ruptured boats or automobiles.
Larger scale and environmental damage is not uncommon when coastal oil rigs or refineries are involved.
Some sources of pollution, such as nuclear power plants or oil tankers, can produce widespread and potentially hazardous releases when accidents occur. Adverse air quality can kill many organisms including humans.
Ozone pollution can cause respiratory disease, cardiovascular disease, throat inflammation, chest pain, and congestion.
Water pollution causes approximately 14,000 deaths per day, mostly due to contamination of drinking water by untreated sewage in developing countries.
Oil spills can cause skin irritations and rashes.
Noise pollution induces hearing loss, high blood pressure, stress, and sleep disturbance..
The human source of pollutants, of which causes death and disease in humans and also animals, is as varied as the common car, factories, technology industries, is very great and obviously dangerous. Despite human attempts at containment, destructive natural phenomena can vex these intentions, spreading more than its’ share of distruction.
I’ve been studying peak oil for over 6 months now. We are at peak oil now 86 million barells/day consumed, 86.5 million/day produced. Next year consumption will outpace production by approx 2% and will continue to grow each year. Oil will begin to rapidly go up in price because speculators, investors, and oil companies will officially now there is no additional, affordable oil to get at to keep up with consumption. If peak oil is reached midway through next year, and we begin the descent, we have approx. 4 years before a total social-economic collapse. How many people do you think will survive? It takes the world’s oil and money markets to keep 6.7 billion people alive. Experts believe we counldn’t sustain 500 million on the planet without oil. What happens when money is worth NOTHING! Will people be fleeing into the rural lands and holding up on their properties, protecting their gardens and lands with weapons? Will this happen soon and save the planet from global warming?
Maybe. It might not reduce the population, and if increased use of coal replaces oil then it won’t stop global warming either. But much later, when coal runs out, then global warming will stop. Or at least the increase of it.

Most of us come for your women. Though when you are the home-grown choice, I do not blame them for taking to us dazzling foreigners.
I was reading on Iraq’s plans to up production (http://dinarspeculation.com/2009/05/05/iraq-to-produce-6-million-barrels-per-day/ ), but it appears that we’re still using more barrels per day than are being produced by the top oil producers (http://www.eia.doe.gov/pub/oil_gas/petroleum/data_publications/company_level_imports/current/import.html ).
How does oil usage, oil production, and gas prices trend when you consider this information?
It works, as everything else in the universe, on supply and demand.
But it is supply and demand of several different things, not just crude.
Crude (in various grades) has a supply and demand. Refined oil, gasoline, natural gas, etc., has a supply and demand. They influence each other, but are not absolutely connected.
Increasing crude production will have the tendency of decreasing gas prices, but it isn’t the only controlling supply and demand curve. Possibly about 50% of the price of gasoline is influenced by crude prices.
People say "greed," but greed is a constant (people are equally greedy no matter what the price of gas is). I’ve heard (especially on the radio) people blame greedy gas companies (or whatever) when gasoline prices go up, but I have never heard them praise their generosity when the prices go down. Greed is constant; supply and demand rules.
to increase production by 20%? following are the options to pick.
a) 8% b) 20% c) 12.5% d) 45%
In this question i know that i m supposed to use this formula E= % change in Q_d/% change in P for supply but i am not getting the answer!
The answer is a) 8%
E = % change in quantity divided by % change in price
Plug in the numbers you are given:
2.5 = 20 / % change in price
Solve for the unknown:
% change in price = 20 / 2.5 = 8
So the price would have to change by 8%. This would be an increase as opposed to a decrease because of the positive relationship between price and quantity supplied.

How long can this global oil supply level be maintained? When will the decline in oil supply
begin? How will that impact already rising gasoline prices, oil prices, food prices and the
struggling state of the world economy?
To address shrinking fossil fuel supplies, increasing CO2 emissions, and rising global inequity
we need to make immediate and drastic cuts to our energy use. Learn about viable curtailment
strategies for food, housing, and transportation, why most “sustainable” and “green” techniques
are inadequate, and how we can create cooperative low-energy communities to survive.
Pat Murphy is the Executive Director of Community Solutions in Yellow Springs, Ohio, co-writer
and co-producer of the film, “The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil” (2006)
and author of the forthcoming book “Plan C: Community Survival Strategies for Peak Oil and
Climate Change.”
The International Conference on Peak Oil and Climate Change: Paths to Sustainability
explores the root cause of rising gas prices, global warming, biodiversity loss and other
indicators of global unsustainability.
